Draft Grade — Lions
Overall A-
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC+
The Lions let McCoy fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Lions watched Jermod McCoy slide 166 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In the end it comes back to Arvell Reese, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 David Bailey
In slot 23 they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 30 they get a green-dot type in the middle, outstanding value to boot.
Pick48 Rnd2 Spencer Fano
Taking Spencer Fano in pick No. 48 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jordyn Tyson
Jordyn Tyson at the 79th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Mansoor Delane
The board fumbled Mansoor Delane all the way to the 85th pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101 Rnd4 Kenyon Sadiq
Somehow Kenyon Sadiq was still sitting there in No. 101, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kayden McDonald
Circle this one: Kayden McDonald at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jermod McCoy
Jermod McCoy at Round 6, Pick 3 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor in pick No. 194 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197 Rnd6 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe in No. 197 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick208 Rnd6 Chase Bisontis
You do not let an offensive lineman like Chase Bisontis reach the 208th pick and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Cole Payton
They robbed the room for Cole Payton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
